With the start of the 2026\u20132027 academic year in the newly refurbished premises of the historic \u2018Casa d\u2019Italia\u2019 building, a new chapter is beginning in the history of the Italian community in Zurich.<\/p>\n
The resumption of school activities marks an initial and crucial milestone, which will be followed, in the coming months, by the restoration of the entire complex to full functionality. This autumn will also see the opening of the part of the building intended to house the Consulate General, the Italian Cultural Institute, the ITA\u2019s Desk Attrazione Investimenti and the Comites.<\/p>\n
The project therefore goes beyond the simple refurbishment of a building. The revitalisation of the Casa d\u2019Italia represents a strategic investment by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation aimed at enhancing a prestigious state-owned property covering almost 3,000 square metres, restoring its role as a major Italian institutional, cultural and educational hub in Switzerland.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday is a day we have been looking forward to for a long time,\u201d said Mario Baldi, the Italian Consul General in Zurich. \u201cThe start of the school year in the newly refurbished Casa d\u2019Italia is a significant achievement, albeit still only a partial one, as it represents the first step towards the complete revival of the Casa d\u2019Italia. Today we are returning this building to Italian schools and our pupils; over the coming months we will complete the relocation of the other Italian institutions that will be based here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The start of the school year therefore also has symbolic significance. The first to return to the Casa d\u2019Italia are young people \u2013 pupils from Italian schools \u2013 who are being given back a modern and functional space, set within a building steeped in history and deeply linked to the Italian presence in Switzerland.<\/p>\n
A restored piece of historical heritage, a major investment by the Italian government and a symbol of Italy\u2019s presence in the heart of Zurich.<\/p>\n
